Such As Ne'er Saw Swans

Before We End Our Pilgrimage, 'tis Fit That We Should Leave Corruption, And Foul Sin, Behind Us, But With Wash'd Feet And Hands, The Heathens Dar' Not Enter Their Profane Temples; And For Me To Hope My Passage To Eternity Can Be Made Easy, Till I Have Shook Off The Burthen Of My Sins In Free Confession, Aided With Sorrow, And Repentance For Them, Is Against Reason.

What Can Innocence Hope For, When Such As Sit Her Judges Are Corrupted!

For Any Man To Match Above His Rank Is But To Sell His Liberty.
